New Delhi: Tata Realty on Monday said it has taken a loan of Rs 825 crore from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to refinance its green commercial project in Chennai.

"This financing is earmarked for the strategic refinancing of Ramanujan Intellion Park in Chennai, a landmark development in the sustainable real estate sector," the company said.

Ramanujan Intellion Park has achieved complete emissions reduction through renewable energy or carbon offsets, saving more than 20 percent on water and embodied energy in materials and achieving more than 42 percent energy savings at the site.

Strategically located along Old Mahabalipuram Road (IT Expressway) in Taramani, Chennai, the 25.27-acre Ramanujan Intellion Park encompasses both a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) processing area and a non-processing zone.

Sanjay Dutt, MD & CEO, Tata Realty, said, “IFC’s financing is a strategic investment to advance our efforts to enhance the sustainability and climate resilience of Ramanujan Intellion Park.”

Dutt said this funding would allow the company to continue its leadership in green building practices.

Elaborating on the project, Tata Realty said that this fully owned and operational IT park hosts 40,000 to 60,000 professionals across its six buildings daily.

The IT park includes the facilities of the Taj Wellington Mews Hotel, offering 112 serviced apartments and a 1,500-seat convention center in the non-processing zone.
